Thanks for the Video Matteo. I have bought the panasonic 14-42, Canon FD 28mm, Contax Carl Zeiss 50mm f1.4 and the Canon FD 70-210 for my BMPCC4k . Thanks to your influence. Im really enjoying them and the camera. I see so many bmpcc4k rigs and lens setup so similar to your everyday on instagram. Its really cool that you're positively influencing the indi-filmaking world. Im gonna buy the canon 16-35mm with a speedbooster next!
I simply use the metabones xl 0.64x for EF lenses. Then just an M42 to EF screw or FD to EF mount. This means your speedbooster is far more versatile as you can use a wider range. The Laowa is lovely.
I'm planning on doing the M42/FD to EF speedbooster. Are there any drawbacks on doing this configuration? Do you loose infinity focus or gain vignetting? Sharpness? Thanks!
@@IsraelGonzalezR not experienced any drawbacks but plenty of benefits including decreased minimum focus distance and wider field of view. Also the dof is shallower than if you used a standard non boosted adaptor.
Hi, Matteo said in another comment that this doesn't work. Sorry I'm a bit confused as I only use native lenses currently. I'd like to get some of these FD lenses but I also have the Takumar m42 lens. Why do you get shallower dof this way than with using just the FD speedbooster? I'm also wondering about the SLR magic or viltrox speedboosters which seem to only come in EF, but are way cheaper! Any tips greatly appreciated 🙂
@@AlexDelfont from my recollection of owning a GH5 for a long time, using the metabones would result in an extra stop of light and because one could get closer to a subject (reduced minimum focus distance) the background would be thrown further out of focus. I use the following lenses all m42 screw with the XL on the BMPCC4K: Helios 44-2, Jupiter 9 85mm f2 and the Mir 1v 37mm f2.8. I also love using the 50mm smc takumar f2, all work perfectly you can see some shots on my channel. Zero issues essentially these vintage lenses become EF lenses with the adaptors.
@@FKfilmphotography thanks I had read people saying you can't use the EF metabones and then an m42 adaptor too as you can't get to infinity focus but I'm a bit confused about it all!
Thanks for posting, some of the most beautiful images that I’ve seen come out this camera. Any chance you could do a video showing your correction and grading steps?
are you able to add a follow focus to either of those zooms? How do you setup your rig w/ them? I'm looking to get them both but not sure how to rig them up
I have several Canon FD lenses and EF lenses, as well as a Metabones Ultra EF speed booster to adapt EF lenses to my BMPCC 4K. If I permanently changed my FD mounts to EF, would they become compatible with my EF speed booster? On indie film sets, time is always of the essence, and because the Metabones mount needs additional support to prevent any wiggle with the follow focus, sticking to one speed booster would be much more efficient. Anyone have any idea if this is possible?
One of the good reason to watch these videos now is to clearly notice how massive your picture developed over the years. Yes FDs are ok, but they looks so ordinary casual after what you show with leicas now its crazy.
Voigtlander primes, Panasonic f2.8 zooms and Olympus f1.8 primes are how I roll. This gives me sharp corporate looks and classic lower contrast looks, with flexibility for doc work and pinpoint accuracy for corporate. Mind you, the collection costs wayyy more than a handful of Canon FD lenses and a focal reducer! The Canon FD 70-210 looks amazing, though.
Thanks for these recommendations. Currently, I have the Pana-Leica 12-60mm f2.8 which I used entirely for a feature film I shot. It's a great lens. I also have the Pana-Leica 25mm f1.4. Another excellent lens. Thanks to you, I will be looking to pick up the Laowa 9mm and the Canon 70-210mm f4. I'm also looking at the Rokinon Xeen 24mm f1.5 (w/m43 mount) and the Pana-Leica 10-25mm f1.7.
VFX Todd hey Dont get a rokinon with mft mount it is just like an adapter theres no other Glass element in there get an ef viltrox and then you can adapt it
Hello Matteo. Thank you for your great videos. I would be grateful if you could recommend some lens/es to pair with BMPCC (Original)? I have been doing my research for some time now and I found there are quite a few options. I mainly shoot landscapes, architecture and travel videos. I like vintage lenses with character and yet sharp enough. I'm not sure if I should go into ef/fd lenses with speedbooster or into some mft native wide lenses like laowa/slr magic? I currently own flektogon 35mm, and super takumar 50mm (both full frame) but with Bmpcc Og's crop factor (2.88) they would be as tele☻ Thank you in advance. Cheers!
amazing explanation and video, I'm just getting my bmpcc 4k with speed booster by the end of the month. Could you please suggest any lens for corporate shoot in budget if possible?
@0:17, whoah look at all that rolling shutter, or is that warp stabilizer? (LOL, sorry, cinematography joke). I love your footage! I could seriously just watch your footage on loop all day.
Hey Matteo, I used your lut on my last video and love it so much. I use it all the time!!! Also, I’m using a Viltrox speedbooster with a Sigma 18-35, canon 50mm 1.8, and canon 75-300 3.5-56. So for really happy! Hoping to upgrade my telephoto lens soon!
Hi Matteo, thank you for all your works you do for us ! i have one question, it is possible to use canon FD's lenses on BMPCC 6K ? if yes, with which adapter ? Because i tried many combination and have always the focus issue. I can only focus on macro shot. Thanks in advance and stay at home :-)
Hi Matteo, so the 24mm canon with speedbooster is about a 17.mm in mft terms, and then the next focal length you have is the 9mm laowa? Don't you miss everything in-between those? Is there a canon FD lens that can fill this gap? Also, how do you find the 50mm1.4 canon FD compares to the Takumar 1.4 ? You've got me revaluating my whole plan with this video!! Thanks :)
In my opinion original Super 16 and Super 35 cine lenses are the very best choice for BMPCC4K, and no Speedbuster is required. Within the last 20 years I have collected very many Arriflex Zeiss, Cooke, Angenieux and Schneider lenses, but so far I haven't received a BMPCC4K to start my experiences. The camera is not available here in Germany, only very few have arrived. I am always too late to purchase.
Awesome video Matteo! Did you experencied some issues with this metabones on the BMPCC4K like the blue/green flares or mount problems? Or its better to convert the mount of the Canon FDs to EF and use a metabones XL 0.64 EF to BMPCC4K ?
Hi Matteo, great advice as always, I live in Roma and I am also in love with Canon fd lenses, especially the 35-105 f3.5 and the 50 f1.4 but I ended up selling both of them because my Lens Turbo focal reducers don’t fit my Sony fs-100, I was very sad to discover it and I ended up buying Minolta MD lenses that are easy to mount on my other Viltrox focal reducer and all my Sony cameras.
Hi Matteo, first of all i wanted to thank you for this video, having in mind your recomendation I bought the Canon 24 f/2.8 SSC, Canon 50mm f/1.4 and the Canon 70-210 f/4. I just have one more doubt, what focus gear ring diameter should i buy for each lens? Any recomendation? Thanks.
Ciao Matteo che bel video... ho un paio di domande. Ho un meta.b. XL per canon ef e vorrei comprare le tue stesse lenti..la domanda è. Devo comprare l'adattatore da aggiungere al meta.b ? Oppure è meglio l'adattatore con lente per micro 4/3.... per praticità non vorrei smontare il meta.b che è sorretto dal cage small rig. Tu cosa usi ...grazie
Have you tried the 24mm with a basic adapter instead of the speed booster? Wouldn't that essentially result in something closer to a 48mm lens? I'm curious your thoughts on this as I'm considering buying the 24mm but the FD to m43 speedboosters aren't available. I'm more interested in this lens for it's look than it's focal length. Something closer to a 50mm might even be preferred in some ways so it might work out. Thanks for the awesome content as always!
Ciao Matteo, che percorso di studi hai fatto per arrivare a questo livello? Capire che lenti usare per determinate inquadrature, la color grading, come creare un video "cinematic" conosci dei libri che puoi consigliarci? Sei sempre un punto di riferimento!
I was also thinking of getting a speedbooster for canon fd lenses.. I have the adaptor but I figure with a speedbooster its like having two lenses in one
Complimenti per i lavori che mostri sul tuo canale: veramente stupendi! Avrei una domanda da porti.. io sto usando delle splendide zeiss contax con la BMPCC 4k e lo speed booster tuttavia, siccome mi serve mantenere l’attacco contax per usarle sulla fotocamera analogica, utilizzo degli anelli adattatori C/Y - EOS. Questo peró mi crea degli enormi problemi con il follow focus perchè l’ottica ha abbastanza gioco da far scorrere i dentini tra follow e ghiera rendendo il sistema pressochè inutilizzabile. Conosci per caso delle case che fanno degli anelli adattatori decenti? (So che c’è la leitax che fa il cambio mount ma appunto sostituire il mount non è una soluzione che vorrei tenere in considerazione). Grazie in anticipo :)
My question is, why fd mount over ef mount? Can you use an adapter to use ef lenses with the fd metabones ir vice versa? With the metabones, what is the focal length with the 50mm?
I bought this lens for my P4k and I love it. So sharp, amazing image for the price. My only issues is that I can’t adjust the aperture. It’s locked. I watched some tutorials on how to change aperture but when I put the lens back together and mount it to the camera I still can’t adjust it. It appears to be locked around F11 or F16. Do I need to get the metabones speed booster in order to change aperture? I bought the K&F Concept FD to M4/3 Lens Mount Adapter. Without being able to change it I either need to crank up the iso or shoot when it’s bright outside. Regardless, for the money, this is a great lens and I’m still getting amazing images as it is. Anyone have any insight? Thanks.
Luis F Andrade i did. I don’t think they are in business anymore. Also too expensive for mft lenses that you will never be able to use on a s35 camera. Definitely not worth the investment for me. Unless you are planning to shoot mft for the rest of your life
Been doing a good amount of research. Love this vid btw and what you do. Learned a lot from you. I’m moving over to bmpcc4k from gh5 and was wondering if you would still recommend the fd speedbooster over the Ef and these lenses a year later
Hey Matteo, I bought your buttery luts the other day and like them a lot. My question is.. I have the pocket 4k and the metabones 0.64 speedbooster to EF, do you think I can adapt FD lenses to EF so two adapters or is that too much space/glass???
Hey man! Love your set up! Just getting myself into videography, just got my bmpcc 4k and already purchased 3 lenses: super takumar 50mm, SLR Magic 8mm and 24mm F1.7 pann lumix G. Would love to know your opinion on these! Thanks,
Thank you for this video. Question are you using a m43 to Ed adaptor and then you have an Fd to Ef conversión on the lenses or are you using a fd to m43 adaptor? If I don’t want to buy the fd to m43 would the Ef to m43 work using the fd with adaptor to Ef? Have you tried that?
@@matteobertoli hey Matteo the guy in a slightly higher comment mentioned that if does work. He says he has the EF speedbooster and then uses the FD to EF conversion, and can use M42 lenses too. He says he gets shallower dof and shorter minimum focus distance. Any idea?
I was wondering about the laowa 9mm lens since it isa m43 lens. How does it stand across the 18/35 sigma art with speedbooster? What about the field of view between those 2 options? Love your work btw!
is this the same lense? Wide Angle 24mm F/2.8 SSC (FD) Manual Focus Lens www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/802083177-USE/canon_wide_angle_24mm_f_2_8.html I have . BH credit card so i have to buy it there.
Hey have you considered to cine mod your lenses. (Not ef Mount conversion, cuz you got the metabones already) i mean getting a focus gear Ring. Front element to make 80mm o.d. and then matte box it up. And are you considering getting more fd lenses? Like a prime Tele or something Anways as always super informative video. Appreciate it a lot. Just waiting for the bmpcc4k to be available. Waiting since February on my order.
Hi there, I just got a canon fd 24mm f2.8 for my bmpcc 4k but I can't get the infinity focus working. What would you suggest. Please let me know. Thanks
I was curious about using some canon fd lenses with my pocket 4k and after some researching I've found I can't find any canon sd to micro 4/3 speedboosters in stock anywhere. I can only find the new xl speedboosters for ef mounts but I was told I can't use the fd cameras with ef mounts. Does anyone know why this is or if they know a link on where to get one?
yeah there are some that are quality like the carl zeiss 18mm but because there are so rare they are much more expensive than normal vintage glass. but there are loads of affordable wide angle lens ranging from 25mm to 28mm and 35mm
Dude, love my FD lenses. I am getting a speed booster as well. I have the little SLR magic 8mm. The focus throw on the FDs are great. I have them mounted via a K & F adapter. Cheers man!
Thank you for a video, very informative as usual! Do you plan to make a video about how do you do stable shots when you are travel? I am considering to build as little as possible setup, but no sure whether is gimbal or OIS lenses are the way to go. Thank you anyway
Alexey Shevchenko thanks! I am actually gonna use a gimbal for the first time for an upcoming shoot this weekend. Otherwise I always use my tripod and slider.

that fd 70-210mm is dope. I use it with a non-speedbooster fd->m43

Its really cool that you're positively influencing the indi-filmaking world. Im gonna buy the canon 16-35mm with a speedbooster next!
How do you tackle pulling focus and stabilization at the same time? Also why did you decide to go with the 9mm from laowa as opposed to the 7.5mm?
I simply use the metabones xl 0.64x for EF lenses. Then just an M42 to EF screw or FD to EF mount. This means your speedbooster is far more versatile as you can use a wider range. The Laowa is lovely.

Hey vecio! It's always a pleasure learn from you about cinematography!
I have several m42 135 2.8 lenses that i use with my gh5 that are freaking lovely. Bought a few in mint condition for like $15. I love vintage glass.
amazing explanation and video, I'm just getting my bmpcc 4k with speed booster by the end of the month. Could you please suggest any lens for corporate shoot in budget if possible?
Thanks! I am impressed by the Blackmagic pocket 4k but most people use $500 - $1000 lensen on it which is too expensive for me.

Nolan Molt amazing!!! Great setup!
Matteo Bertoli Visuals I wanna get a canon 24-105 f4 for some documentary work!
Bro, could you show me how do you attach ND filters on these vintage lenses? Thank you.
Tuyen Tran just take the diameter of the lens and buy a nd filtrer which match
Get the 85mm f1.8 Canon FD and you will never want to use any other 85mm ever
What about the 1.2 L!
How do your FD lenses look with focus pulls? Is there noticeable breathing?
Not bad at all!
What are your thoughts on the Sigma 18-35?

Convert the mount to EF at Simmond👍

It isn't really a 'little less crop'.

Alex Delfont as far as I know no. You can’t.
I was wondering about the laowa 9mm lens since it isa m43 lens. How does it stand across the 18/35 sigma art with speedbooster? What about the field of view between those 2 options? Love your work btw!
Thanks! The laowa is a 18mm equivalent. The 18-35 on a speedbooster and it’s about 30mm to 55 so the laowa is definitely wider
Solid list with great potential
Anyone know where to get a follow focus ring that fits the Canon FD 70-210?
Your work is awesome man
Can you recommend an adapter / speedbooster / converter FD to MFT? how does one go about fitting these lenses? links?
Can the Canon FD 70-210mm f/4.0 Zoom work with a Metabones 0.64X MFT- Canon EF
Thabo Keorapetse no cause it’s an fd, not ef
hi Do the 50 mm and the 70mm lens work with the canon mft speedbooster, also I was recommended the .64XL speedbooster is the .71 better?
Aminat Odunbaku fd to mft is only .71. You need that one in order to use fd on the pocket
is this the same lense? Wide Angle 24mm F/2.8 SSC (FD) Manual Focus Lens www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/802083177-USE/canon_wide_angle_24mm_f_2_8.html
I have . BH credit card so i have to buy it there.
Hey have you considered to cine mod your lenses. (Not ef Mount conversion, cuz you got the metabones already) i mean getting a focus gear Ring. Front element to make 80mm o.d. and then matte box it up.
And are you considering getting more fd lenses? Like a prime Tele or something
Anways as always super informative video. Appreciate it a lot. Just waiting for the bmpcc4k to be available. Waiting since February on my order.
Mirek that’s a long wait! Thanks man! Yeah I did but I don’t think it’s worth it for now. I do have the follow focus gear on the 50 and 24mm tho...
Hi there, I just got a canon fd 24mm f2.8 for my bmpcc 4k but I can't get the infinity focus working. What would you suggest. Please let me know. Thanks
No idea... never had that issue
@@matteobertoli what adapter did you use?
Meike 16mm and 25mm cine lenses. All day and every day on my BMPCC4K. I can’t recommend these lenses enough.
Fam Visser do you have any play or movement with those lenses on the pocket 4K mount?
Joel Cazares no I don’t. They are working great in every way.
Can I use this with a normal fd to mft adapter and not a speed booster?
Rhythm SG yes
Don't do close ups with 25 milimeter lenses. The distortion messes the image up.
The 24mm Canon FD lens is going on my Panasonic gh5s
I was curious about using some canon fd lenses with my pocket 4k and after some researching I've found I can't find any canon sd to micro 4/3 speedboosters in stock anywhere. I can only find the new xl speedboosters for ef mounts but I was told I can't use the fd cameras with ef mounts. Does anyone know why this is or if they know a link on where to get one?
Nicholas Haafke that’s correct. Crazy they stopped making them, I am wondering how much mine is worth it 😂
I've seen FD to EF adapters. Would that work (FD to EF to M43)?
Are there any vintage wide angle lenses? 18mm and wider?
yeah there are some that are quality like the carl zeiss 18mm but because there are so rare they are much more expensive than normal vintage glass. but there are loads of affordable wide angle lens ranging from 25mm to 28mm and 35mm
Usually not since those vintage lenses were designed for full frame cameras
Dude, love my FD lenses. I am getting a speed booster as well. I have the little SLR magic 8mm. The focus throw on the FDs are great. I have them mounted via a K & F adapter. Cheers man!
Thank you for a video, very informative as usual! Do you plan to make a video about how do you do stable shots when you are travel?
I am considering to build as little as possible setup, but no sure whether is gimbal or OIS lenses are the way to go.
Thank you anyway
Alexey Shevchenko thanks! I am actually gonna use a gimbal for the first time for an upcoming shoot this weekend. Otherwise I always use my tripod and slider.
This is super takumar 7 or 8 element? Thx....
Juro Jarvis that was 7 but I do recommend the 8 elements
What FD adaptor do you recommend? Love the vids and purchased the Buttery LUTs last week. Thank you!
Thank you!! The metabones speedbooster canon fd to mft!
@@matteobertoli How to use FD lens on the new BMPCC 6k pro EF mount?? Can you recommend a speedbooster or adapter for this. Thanks
Dude that laowa! I want one in my life haha 🔥🔥🔥
I bought the laowa 7.5mm f2 for my bmpcc4k and it's working great for real estate. I might pick this one up too for the 18mm look.
Doesn’t the 7,5mm show too much distortion for real estate?
My dog Danilo! Local 600 ✊🏿
When you just spent all your money on the camera body, then you remembered that you need to mount a lens:
I'm gonna stop using modern lenses and instead start looking for vintage lenses at mercari!
Matteo, you look a little bit like the professor from La casa de papel :-)
CINE MOUNTAIN 😂 love that show!
That Laowa is ... You know what, just send it to me.
How come the professor from money heist is making TH-cam videos?
I bought cheap manual lenses some years ago and it was a waste of money.
Cine Decodificado you probably bought the wrong ones. Plenty of bad vintage lenses out there ;)
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Just got a speed booster 🥲
